What is a Seasonal Employment Contract?

The Seasonal Employment Contract is specifically designed for businesses in Hong Kong that require additional workforce during peak seasons or specific time-limited periods. This document is essential for industries such as retail (holiday seasons), agriculture (harvest periods), or tourism (peak travel seasons). The contract complies with Hong Kong employment law, particularly the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), and includes all mandatory provisions while addressing the unique aspects of seasonal employment. It clearly defines the temporary nature of the employment relationship, specific duration, duties, remuneration, and benefits, while ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations during the seasonal period. This type of contract is particularly useful when businesses need to formally document recurring seasonal employment relationships while maintaining legal compliance and operational flexibility.
